Damn, if Russia and China pull this off I don't want to hear any talking down by the French about Americans being politically unsophisticated. France even got the benefit of witnessing exactly how the Russian/CCP far-right sabotaged the US democracy from the inside out by exploiting their dimmest demographics. Same with the UK. Yet these countries are falling the exact same playbook, it's crazy.
Well I mean you can't base everything on it and France is following an international push to the far right, but the is also a documented involvement of and financial ties between the Kremlin and the French far right.
...
That being said, they would surely have won even without that.
French far right being funded by Russian money has absolutely nothing to do with the complete obliteration of our public services and of our welfare system that has been happening for 40+ years under the hand of liberals.
Stop blaming Putin for everything, if the far right is popular today, it's because liberals have ruined our country, not because of Russian money.
This is only partially true. The propaganda money from the big end of town is what’s getting people to vote against their own interests.
How does voting for the neo feudalists does anything to restore the welfare system?
The answer would be to vote for the people that want a better functioning government, vote further left not “oh well, I might as well vote for the people that want to burn the government to the ground”
This is some Brexit level shooting themselves in the foot to spite their face. The British public is slowly waking up to “Oh we were wrong”.
I just hope the west will have the opportunity to recover from this tilt.
I disagree with most of those points but even if I grant them this still doesn’t answer how they think the party that hates government will run it better.
We saw what 15 years of Tory rule did for England. “They can’t be worse” - you’ll be surprised.
